Sophie should dye her hair light blue just to tick them off
***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***
- Thread starter LetsGoHawks83
- Start date
Lynx throw the kitchen sink at CC with the strategy of making KM and AB beat them . And they almost did. CC still with. 19 and 10. Just too cold from 3.
Lynx seemed shaken by the Fever's defensive effort in the second, they took Miles out of the game for most of the second half. But because the Lynx are so stacked, they have equally as good playmakers. The Fever only have CC and Mitchell. Lynx also have better post players.
11 o-boards and 16 2nd chance points. Got 8 more shots off than the Fever.
Only one player on the floor with a double.-double.
But clearly not one of the best on the floor.
19 points, 10 assists (plus how many fumbled passes and missed bunnies?)
Caitlin sure got outdueled by everyone, huh?
At the time I said she was being out dueled, yes. She was pretty much the only person at the time shooting under 50%.
Defensive lapses and some rebounding would be nice. Boston with a leg wrap and taped fingers. The Fever sure could use another effective big.
I would have played Raven vs. Miles at key points, especially the 1st half when Miles was routinely scorching her defender all the way to the basket.
Fever and Lynx both shot 57%. Fever were 11-24 from 3...Lynx were 11-25. Both teams were 11-15 from the line. Dead even except for the boards and a 12 Fever turnvoers to 6 for the Lynx...but I can live with 12 turnovers against almost anybody.
Yeah well ya know what, their other f***ing players besides Miles should stop trying to help her win......
Yep.
Check this out:
Both teams shot 57% overall
Fever shot 46% from three; MN? 44%
Both teams shot 11-15 (73%) from the FT line.
The difference? Offensive rebounding (that resulted in 2nd chance points) and turnovers. Minny got off 8 more FG attempts than Indy mostly because of their +6 offensive rebounding advantage (resulting in 2nd chance points) and a +6 turnover advantage.
And Indy was still within 2 points (100-98) with 2:37 to go in the game.

MN had 11 ORBs (vs Fever 5). I believe most of those ORBs were converted for 2nd chance points, including a couple 3s. There’s your difference maker
Coming into today's game, the Minnesota Lynx were averaging 11,129 fans per home game during the 2026 WNBA regular season.
Today's announced attendance? 16,505, which is 48% more than their season average.
The Caitlin Clark effect.

Can you imagine someone forming a WNBA team with all trans males? And then, playing the Lynx? Oh my.
Lebron wants to win another championship right? Could sign with the Fever for a minimum contract. No room for hate so everyone is accepted in this league.
Some sort of butterfly effectHow did the future look today? Not so good?
Sounds like Miles disappeared in the 2nd half. Still had a nice game though.
Sucks that CC was apparently playing sick, puking before tipoff. Getting 19 and 10 against one of the best defenders in the league while sick isn't bad.

They must either have an idea she wants to sign with them, or want the extra time to try and make a positive impact on her that will sway her decision. They were 27-17 last season, so can't imagine their draft pick being crazy valuable, and the chance of getting Plum for 3 years or so might be worth the risk.
Just get 12 women identifying players from the G League and win title after title!
if males want to play in women’s sports, why make the go through the hassle of having to identify as female? Just let them play! No quotas. That would be biased and unfair. Put the best players on the teams and the best 5 on the floor!
Cheryl Reeve said that she played with the boys when she was a kid. There's a huge difference from being a "Tomboy" and being a trans, don't you think? The "Tomboy" girls ordinarily grow out of that unless there's something else going on.
So not sure why you say that. You’re playing the best team in the league in a super hostile environment and it’s a 2 pt game late. I’m guessing they would not be unhappy with that. They shot well and only had 12 turnovers. Honestly played about as well as could be expected.
I think this is why some people are rolling their eyes at CC fans. Nothing above is necessarily false, but the lengths folks go through to rationalize being outplayed is something to behold.
Sports media just clickbait leeches constantly trying to corner her on sh*t like this. Pathetic.
All the Sophie haters. Do they want men in the WNBA?
does the Union ?
so stupid.
does the Union ?
so stupid.
She was well prepared for the question
You definitely has a very good team behind her
And I am happy that she always has the right answer
But let's face it , there will still be outrage
OK then. If she does that, then how about telling Dolson and Reeve to stop wearing those Trans shirts. One is verbal and the others are non-verbal. Did you catch that? Non-verbals. Plural.
However, I agree with you on what you said around focusing on basketball. Yes, let's get down to the business of basketball.

3 Road games in 5 days and they had a chance vs the best team in the league. I doubt Indy beats them in the postseason but it's possible.
As soon as Indy is out I won't watch a second; this league is a joke.
